Feeling your way to enlightenment

[Actualising]

Hey there!

 

As Naville Goddard says "feeling is the secret"... Do you guys thing you can feel your way to enlightenment? By being happy all the time?

Sometimes when I contemplate I feel like I hit on something sacred. Thats the main indicator for me to dig deeper. 

But that feeling is more an intuition, like it has a different quality to it.

I would definitely say you can’t because the mind can convert feelings against dropping the person identity. 
 

One thing you notice if you have prolonged enlightenment experiences is when the person identity veil comes back you realise how powerful is. 
 

It’s why I would say without habitual change you can never achieve enlightenment.

Happiness or Bliss is not Enlightenment but via Happiness/Bliss Enlightenment is that much closer as an Everyday Experience.. For sure You will not Experience Enlightenment via Suffering, how can One be Suffering and Experiencing Truth? 

Just look at Nature (anything non Human), its mostly perfect, its a Physical Reflection of Truth, if all Humans were too disappear, the planet would flourish, but if Bees, Insects, Plants, Trees, Soil, etc were to disappear, we would all die... So that tells You.

So via Happiness/Bliss, the path to Enlightenment is easier and more available to You, it will come naturally as You are no longer a slave to outside situations and have an inner sense of Reality as it is, Clarity!
